Chapter Seventy-Four: It's not as good as Zhang San
Cheng Xiangjin didn't plan to ignore him, turned around and left. Xie Lingfeng hurriedly chased after him.
"Sister Cheng, it's so late, I'll send you back!"
Cheng Xiangjin didn't know how Xie Lingfeng appeared at the temple fair. I only know that as soon as I see him, the entanglements of the past few days will come to my heart again, and I am very upset.
She hurriedly waved her hand and smiled awkwardly: "No, the Gan family sisters know kung fu, they will protect me." If Brother Xie Shi is fine, let's go home quickly! Jing'er still doesn't know if she has returned from the temple fair? β
"She, she's fine, there are Hou Mansion guards with her, and I'll go back soon." Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well give you a ride! β
Cheng Xiangjin saw him looking at himself eagerly, a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little guilty.
Actually, when he got up, Xie Lingfeng didn't do anything wrong.
Cheng Xiangjin sighed, raised his head and said, "Since you want to send it, then send it, only outside the gate of Yulan Courtyard." β
"Well, that's nature."
Under the bright moonlight, the two walked towards the house one after the other. I didn't know anything for a while.
Ganlu in the back looked at the silent two, and was secretly anxious.
Hou Mansion, this personable noble son, came to send the girl, why didn't our girl look happy at all?
Also, this Xie Gongzi is too, if the girl doesn't speak, he won't take the initiative? How can you look at it, it is even more stupid than Zhang San in the yamen?
Don't look at the unattractive Zhang Sanqi, coax his fiancΓ©e, that's called a slip!
Even the eldest brother is often ashamed of himself!
Ganlu looked up at the two who were still silent, and couldn't help but shake her head.
Xie Gongzi is like this, I'm afraid it won't work!
Seeing that the Yulan Courtyard was in front, Xie Lingfeng looked at the unhurried people in front of him, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Sister Cheng, it's my birthday in a few days. I think...... I invite you to come to the Hou Mansion for a gathering. Would you like to? β
After listening to this, Cheng Xiangjin paused. I didn't know how to answer for a while. Thinking of what her grandmother had given her two days ago, Cheng Xiangjin compromised a little.
"Let me think about it."
Xie Lingfeng saw that she didn't refuse, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two continued to walk silently, and did not stop until the entrance of the Magnolia Courtyard.
"I've arrived. Thank you so much, brother, send me back, and come back early! β
Xie Lingfeng stood there but didn't move.
Cheng Xiangjin was surprised and looked up at him.
Seeing that she finally looked at her, Xie Lingfeng suddenly smiled.
"In the future, you can still call me by my name, just call me Ling Feng. Brother Xie Shi always sounded weird. β
Cheng Xiangjin thought about it for a moment, "Ling Feng is too numb, it's better to call him his full name." β
Xie Lingfeng thought about it and reluctantly accepted it. "That's good, Jin'er can call it whatever you want, just use the sword as you like!"
Cheng Xiangjin: "......"
Xie Lingfeng saw her turn around and leave, and reminded unwillingly: "The twentieth day of the first month is my birthday. Don't forget! β
Cheng Xiangjin paused, did not look back, and strode into the courtyard.
It wasn't until Cheng Xiangjin's figure could no longer be seen that Xie Lingfeng secretly smiled bitterly, "This stinky girl!" It's really ruthless! β
On the second day, the Yamen opened a trial of the mask mold
Yan Xiaoan was stabbed in the shoulder by the masked man and couldn't come forward. Only Cheng Siyi and Ding'an Hou Yan Heng are there.
As soon as Cheng Fuyin was shocked, the interrogation began.
"Cheng Siyi, you will carefully repeat what happened yesterday in the hall."
"Yes, sir. Yesterday's Shangyuan Festival, nephew, well, grass folk Cheng Siyi and his friend Yan Xiaoan were eating wine in a wine shop. Halfway through, a beggar sent a letter over and handed it directly to Yan Gongzi. At first, the grass people didn't know what the letter was. Later, when he saw that Yan Gongzi went out without saying a word, the grass people caught up. After the grass people asked, they found out that on the letter, Yan Dagongzi was still alive, and if Yan Ergongzi wanted to know the details, he would come to the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city to meet. The grass people saw that Yan Xiaoan was bent on going to the City God Temple, so he also went with him. Who would have thought that before entering the temple, a man wearing Zhong Kui's mask rushed out. Yan Gongzi was close, and before he dodged for a while, he was stabbed in the shoulder by the man's dagger. When the grass people saw that the man was about to flee, they chased after him. chased until the exit of the city's lantern festival, and then took down this person together with the military department. Later, it was sent directly to the yamen. My lord, that's how it happened! β
Cheng Changan nodded, "It's about the safety of the prince of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye also has some past stories about the eldest son of the Hou Mansion." β
Ding Anhou's face was serious, and he was silent for a moment, and said: "In the year Your Majesty ascended the throne, my wife gave birth to a baby boy. When the child was three or four months old, the former emperor was seriously ill, and the former eldest prince forced the palace to rebel. I was ordered to protect the former emperor in the imperial city with the crown prince. Later, the former prince was defeated and arrested, and I was able to return to the house to visit my wife and children. Who knew that when I returned to the house, I realized that on the day when the former prince forced the palace, a thief with strong martial arts sneaked into my house and robbed my son. After the incident, my subordinate Shi Dahai desperately chased after him, but later the thieves caught him, but the child was never found. According to the thief's confession before his death, he threw my son into the snake cave in the mountain, and Zheng I sent Ran to search for the mountain forest for nearly a month, but never found the whereabouts of the child. There was no choice but to assume that the child was dead. That's all there is to the kid. β
Ding'anhou's age is a little older than Cheng Chang'an, thirty-eight or nineteen years old. Although he is close to the age of confusion, his face and body bearing are not much different from those of the young man in Twenty Langdang. After many years, I talked about the old things, and Ding'an Hou was still uncontrollably grieved.
Cheng Changan pinched his fingers, "The former eldest prince forced a confession and rebelled, and now he has welcome...?" β
"This year is exactly 19 years."
"That is, if Ling Gongzi is really alive, he should be nineteen years old this year?"
"Not bad. My subordinates and I searched for more than a month, and the nearby mountains had been climbed. I'm afraid that the child's hope of birth is slim. I came here today to find out who is so vicious that I don't even let go of my only son! Fortunately, Cheng Gongzi was present, otherwise, my life here would be in danger! β
Cheng Changan stroked his beard and thought about it for a while, and ordered to the outside world, "Bring someone to commit a crime!" β
Soon, two officials escorted a prisoner up, and Cheng Siyi turned his head to see that it was indeed the person who assassinated him yesterday.
"Master Hou, take a closer look, do you know this person in front of you?"
Ding Anhou suppressed his anger, carefully identified the person, looked at it for a long time, and shook his head.
"I don't know! Who are you? Why are you lying and deliberately trying to kill my son? β
Ding Anhou was so angry that his arms trembled.
